About TSO Woodlands

Welcome to Texas State Optical Woodlands

Texas State Optical, TSO Woodlands is an independently owned optometry practice dedicated to providing excellence in eye care and optical services for The Woodlands, Spring, and surrounding north Houston communities. After practicing for five years as a partner in a private practice in southeast Houston, Dr. Linh Yee-Young moved to The Woodlands and opened TSO Woodlands in February 2008. TSO Woodlands is affiliated with the Texas State Optical network of Doctors of Optometry, who have cared for the eyes of Texas for over 75 years. We are also independently unique in order to cater to the needs of the patients within our community.

“Eyewear You Want
From Doctors
You Trust”.

Dr. Young and her husband, Ryan, decided to relocate to The Woodlands to be closer to their family and with the hopes of starting a family of their own. Strong family values have always been the core backbone of Dr. Young’s upbringing, so it was her desire to build her practice around those beliefs. Her practice philosophy is caring for patients through good communication while earning their trust, just as you would trust a family member. As a patient, trusting your doctor is crucial to understanding your eye care needs so that you can maintain healthy vision thorughout your lifetime.

Today, the family at TSO Woodlands has grown and continues to grow thanks to our many loyal patients who have recommended us to family and friends of their own. In addition to the growing family at TSO Woodlands, Dr. Young and her husband became proud parents to a daughter named Brooklyn less than a year after opening the office in 2009. In 2012, they once again expanded the family and welcomed another daughter named Ella.

“We’re not
Texas State Optical
By Chance,
But By Choice”.

Patients who are new to our office can expect to receive superior customer service from our dedicated eye care team, including a few of Dr. Young’s own family members. We look forward to welcoming you to our family!

Enjoyed my visit to this welcoming and hospitable opticians. Had the full range of tests and then chose some new glasses in all in 50 minutes. Dr Clair was very helpful as were all the staff. Would happily recommend a visit.~ Jonathan E.

We have been going to TSO for 3 years. My 9 year old son and I both see Dr. Clair. We just love her! She remembers us each time and has been very invested in our vision care - especially my son who required a very strong prescription that took some getting used to. The entire team there is always so kind and helpful!~ Andrea B.

I am very pleased with the level of care I got from Chelsea Ray at TSO in The Woodlands. She was very helpful with frame selection that provided a good fit, meticulously took measurements that no one has ever taken before, explained positioning of my eye wear and lastly took note of a slight imperfection in my new lenses that I would have never noticed. I was so happy to receive my glasses the same day of my visit. Very courteous staff and nice facility.~ Jamal R.

A Message to Our Patients

We are now OPEN with new hours from Monday-Friday 9:00am-5:00pm & Saturday 9:00am-2:00pm and taking appointments for all eye care services, including routine exams and optical services. Please call our office to schedule an appointment before coming. We are committed to providing our patients the care they need while ensuring the health and safety of both patients and the staff at TSO Woodlands. Due to the ongoing challenges of COVID-19, our office has implemented some new safety protocol to better serve you.

Limited Appointment Scheduling and Social Distancing - We will be offering fewer appointments and spacing them out in order to abide by Social Distancing guidelines and allow proper disinfection and sanitization between patient visits. We are limiting the amount of people in our office at one time and ask that only the patient that is scheduled come into the office for his/her appointment. Minors may be accompanied by one parent to the appointment.

Fever Free Environment and COVID-19 Screening - Upon entering our clinic, patients will have their temperature taken and anyone measuring 100°F or above will be asked to re-schedule. All patients will be screened for symptoms or possible exposure related to COVID-19. Our TSO staff will also be screened with the same protocol.

Face Masks - We ask any person entering our office to wear a face mask for both the safety of the patient and for our Doctor and staff. Any type of face covering such as a homemade mask, scarf, bandana, or handkerchief will be acceptable. All TSO staff will also be wearing a face mask when helping patients.

Cleaning Safety Protocol - We have increased our cleaning protocol. Our staff will be thoroughly disinfecting and sanitizing any medical equipment, furniture, pens, clipboards, door handles, bathrooms, and areas of patient contact before and after patient visits. All touched ophthalmic frames in the optical will be disinfected prior to being placed back on the retail display.

Curbside Service or Contactless Delivery - For pick up of glasses or contact lenses, we can bring items directly to your car. Pull up to the front curb and call us when you arrive. If you prefer a contactless delivery, we can mail products directly to your home or you may pick up from a designated drop box located at our front door. We'll coordinate with you to determine the preferred delivery method of your products.

As we implement these new changes to our office, we thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate this challenging time. We will continue to re-evaluate and adapt our services and availability as circumstances related to COVID-19 evolve. We look forward to seeing our patients back in the clinic again and strive to provide excellence in eye care while maintaining your health and safety as our highest priority.
